00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,402
Previously on
Young Sheldon...

2
00:00:02,402 --> 00:00:04,537
I did not give you
a heart attack.

3
00:00:04,871 --> 00:00:06,139
You gave me something.

4
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:07,607
Well...

5
00:00:08,575 --> 00:00:10,910
Is my husband your mystery man?

6
00:00:11,611 --> 00:00:13,179
MISSY:
Can't believe this.

7
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:14,848
Where you going?
Home.

8
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:16,583
They clearly
forgot about us.

9
00:00:17,817 --> 00:00:19,190
This sucks.

10
00:00:19,190 --> 00:00:20,860
What is he
doing here?

11
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:21,354
MARY:
He's a pastor,

12
00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:22,956
and he wanted
to be here.

13
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:24,257
I mean, what is he doing here

14
00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:25,492
with you?

15
00:00:25,492 --> 00:00:27,694
I'm gonna stay
at my mom's house tonight.

16
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:28,862
Fine by me.

17
00:00:28,862 --> 00:00:30,330
Where's Missy?

18
00:00:34,701 --> 00:00:36,803

19
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:37,871

00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:38,972
Missy.

21

♪ No way... ♪

22
00:00:42,676 --> 00:00:45,278
Careful, loud music is a sign
of teen angst.

23
00:00:45,278 --> 00:00:46,479
I'm aware.

24
00:00:47,647 --> 00:00:49,182
Missy honey, I'm so sorry.

25
00:00:49,182 --> 00:00:51,451
You okay?

26
00:00:53,486 --> 00:00:55,221
Come on, let me in.

27
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,990
(music stops)

28
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,224
You forgot me.

29
00:00:58,224 --> 00:00:59,559
(sighs) Mandy went
into labor.

30
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:00,827
I had to go
to the hospital.

31
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:02,796
She had the baby,
and no one told me?

32
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:04,640
See? Angst.

33
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,165
Go in your room.

34
00:01:05,165 --> 00:01:07,500
The baby's cute as a button.

35
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,169
Can't wait to meet
her Aunt Missy.

36
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:12,720
I waited at school for an hour
and had to walk home.

37
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,406
No one even called.

38
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:15,241
There was a lot going on.

39
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:16,643
The important thing is,

40
00:01:16,643 --> 00:01:18,440
you're safe,

41
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,512
baby's safe,
everything turned out okay.

42
00:01:19,512 --> 00:01:21,214
Not everything.
My database failed.

43
00:01:21,214 --> 00:01:22,916
Go.

44
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,351
Where's Mom?

45
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:27,687
She's staying
at your meemaw's tonight.

46
00:01:27,687 --> 00:01:28,922
Why?

47
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:30,323
Help with the baby.

48
00:01:30,323 --> 00:01:32,926
So, the baby's home?
I can meet her?

49
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,527
She'll be home tomorrow.

50
00:01:34,527 --> 00:01:36,596
Then why's Mom there tonight?

51
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:40,500
Look, Missy,
I've had a long day.
So have I.

52
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,350
That makes three of us. Sheldon.

53
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:43,770
I'm in my room, as directed.

54
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:44,871
(sighs)

55
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,109

She's fine.

63
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:18,705
She's quiet.

64
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:20,907
She's breathing, right?

65
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,309
Yes. Hold on.

66
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:25,812
Yes.

67
00:02:25,812 --> 00:02:27,781
Mind slowing down?

68
00:02:28,748 --> 00:02:30,250
I'm going 15.

69
00:02:30,250 --> 00:02:32,152
And I said slow down.

70
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,253
You got it.

71
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,890
Baby check.
Still breathing.

72
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:39,426
All right,
we got this.

73
00:02:39,426 --> 00:02:41,828
You remembered to check
the baby's I.D. bracelet

74
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:43,496
before we left
the hospital, right?

75
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:45,765
Why?
To make sure
they gave us the right baby.

76
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:47,934
Don't be ridiculous,
I know my baby.

77
00:02:47,934 --> 00:02:49,569
This is her.

78
00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:51,938
Yeah, this is her.

79
00:02:51,938 --> 00:02:53,506
Good. I saw this

80
00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:55,308
Maury Povich show
where there was a mix-up,

81
00:02:55,308 --> 00:02:57,177
and one family
got a real clunker.

82
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,579
Well, if she's a clunker,
she's our clunker.

83
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:01,414
(chuckles) Great.

84
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:06,190
Morning.

85
00:03:06,190 --> 00:03:07,754
Hello.

86
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:08,955
You're up early.

87
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:12,292
Gave myself extra time in
case I had to walk again.

88
00:03:13,426 --> 00:03:14,828
I'm taking you
to school.

89
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:17,764
Lots of kids walk,
by the way.

90
00:03:17,764 --> 00:03:18,965
Like Billy?

91
00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:20,467
His mom didn't
show up either.

92
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:22,268
It was sad, but I can laugh
about it now.

93
00:03:22,268 --> 00:03:23,436
Enough.

94
00:03:23,436 --> 00:03:25,105
(sighs)

95
00:03:25,105 --> 00:03:27,607
So, is Mom
coming home tonight?

96
00:03:27,607 --> 00:03:29,376
I don't know.

97
00:03:29,376 --> 00:03:31,778
What's really going on
with you two?

98
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:32,946
'Cause Billy said
you and Brenda...

99
00:03:32,946 --> 00:03:34,614
Drop it.

100
00:03:34,614 --> 00:03:36,549
Fine.

101
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:39,986
Well, since Mom's not here,
I made your lunch.

102
00:03:39,986 --> 00:03:42,220
That was nice.

103
00:03:45,492 --> 00:03:48,610
"Try not forgetting
your daughter today.

104
00:03:48,610 --> 00:03:49,729
XO, Missy."

105
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:52,799
That's my name,
in case you forgot.

106
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:54,300
(sighs)

107
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,972
ADULT SHELDON:
The next day,
as I walked across campus,

108
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:00,907
I could feel
all eyes were on me,

109
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:03,176
judging me for my failure.

110
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:04,978
Look at them laughing at me.

111
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:07,547
It was the closest I ever came
to a walk of shame.

112
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:10,830
Well, good morning, Sheldon.

113
00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:11,818
What's good about it?

114
00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:13,860
I'm a laughingstock.

115
00:04:13,860 --> 00:04:15,255
I don't think
anybody cares.

116
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:16,690
But my database failed.

117
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:19,926
Failure only means something
if you quit.

118
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:23,163
Well, get ready for
some meaning. I quit.

119
00:04:23,163 --> 00:04:24,764
Hang on.

120
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:27,000
Are you familiar
with the Fred Astaire song

121
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,501
"Pick Yourself Up"?

122
00:04:28,501 --> 00:04:29,669
No.

123
00:04:29,669 --> 00:04:32,739
From the beloved musical
Swing Time?

124
00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:33,940
Still no.

125
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,710
Then prepare
to be uplifted.

00:04:37,711 --> 00:04:40,280

I'm not uplifted.

132
00:04:50,924 --> 00:04:53,930
Well, then buckle up
for the second verse.

133
00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:56,290

(Constance crying)

139
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:07,307
Maybe it's gas.
Did you burp her?

140
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:08,808
What do you think I was doing

141
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:10,760
when I was patting her
on the back?

142
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,411
Did you pat firmly?

143
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:12,946
The book says
"pat firmly."

144
00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:14,481
It was firm, Georgie.

145
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:16,149
Maybe you need to be burped.

146
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:19,252
Okay, you're such an expert,
why don't you try?

147
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:22,922
All right. I was a baby
more recently than you were.

148
00:05:22,922 --> 00:05:24,958
It's okay, CeeCee,

149
00:05:24,958 --> 00:05:26,326
Daddy's here.

150
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:27,894
Shh...
(crying continues)

151
00:05:27,894 --> 00:05:29,662
Good job.

152
00:05:29,662 --> 00:05:32,332
Well, I just met her yesterday,
give me a minute.

153
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,268
I remember those days.
Me, too.

154
00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:37,971
Boy, were you a crier.

155
00:05:37,971 --> 00:05:39,172
Sorry.

156
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,974
Too little, too late.

157
00:05:40,974 --> 00:05:42,976
(sighs)
Should I help 'em out?

158
00:05:42,976 --> 00:05:44,110
I got it.

159
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:45,845
Come on, CeeCee,
work with me.

160
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:47,414
This is your father speaking.

161
00:05:47,414 --> 00:05:49,820
Did she quiet down?

162
00:05:49,820 --> 00:05:50,450
'Cause she doesn't
sound quiet.

163
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:51,918
MEEMAW:
Step aside.

164
00:05:51,918 --> 00:05:53,687
Let me show you
how it's done.

165
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:57,900
Please.
Come here. Okay. Yeah.

166
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,426
Meemaw's here now, all right.

167
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:00,960
Shh...

168
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,195
Shh, shh.
(crying continues)

169
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:04,531
Shh. Something's wrong
with this one.

170
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:06,666
Can her grandma
have a turn?

171
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:08,268
Here, take her. Oh...

172
00:06:08,268 --> 00:06:10,270
She takes after you. Oh.

173
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:13,373
It's okay, sweetie, Nana's here.

174
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,375
Nana? Who picked that?

175
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,776
I did.

176
00:06:16,776 --> 00:06:18,111
Why ain't you another meemaw?

177
00:06:18,111 --> 00:06:20,146
'Cause I'm
the only meemaw.

178
00:06:20,146 --> 00:06:22,215
(Constance coos)

179
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:24,451
Oh, you got her to quiet down.
How'd you do that?

180
00:06:24,451 --> 00:06:26,386
Nana magic.

181
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:27,721
MANDY (sighs):
Okay, well,

182
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:29,622
I'm gonna
get some sleep,

183
00:06:29,622 --> 00:06:31,358
and I may never
come back.

184
00:06:34,294 --> 00:06:35,795
Hmm.

185
00:06:38,631 --> 00:06:41,340
I don't understand.
The code is perfect.

186
00:06:41,340 --> 00:06:42,669
It should have worked.

187
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:44,571
Well, the problem
isn't that it didn't work,

188
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:47,730
the problem is that
nobody wanted to use it.

189
00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:50,243
So, you're saying we didn't
fail, the public failed us.

190
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:52,120
No, we failed.

191
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,481
And you've also failed
at cheering me up, so good job.

192
00:06:54,481 --> 00:06:56,249
Here's a thought.

193
00:06:56,249 --> 00:06:57,584
I've been toying around

194
00:06:57,584 --> 00:07:00,220
with this new plasma
confinement idea.

195
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:02,550
Why don't we
work on that

196
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:04,591
and, uh, take your mind
off the database?

197
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,920
What if we fail at that, too?

198
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,610
Then we'll have
two failures back to back.

199
00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:10,163
I'll have to leave the country
or grow a mustache,

200
00:07:10,163 --> 00:07:12,650
or leave the country
until I can grow a mustache.

201
00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:15,100
Well, we don't know
if we'll fail until we try.

202
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:18,438
Counterpoint: if we don't try,
we'll never fail.

203
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,573
Oh, my little pal,

204
00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:22,942
do I have to
sing again?

205
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:25,278
Little?
I'm towering over you.

206
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:28,214
♪ Will you remember
the famous men ♪

207
00:07:28,214 --> 00:07:30,784

209
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:37,424
She's so cute.

210
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:39,826
Yeah.

211
00:07:39,826 --> 00:07:41,628
How long has she
been crying?

212
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:42,796
Her whole life.

213
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,831
(scoffs) I got a brother
like that.

214
00:07:44,831 --> 00:07:47,801
You want to hold her?
No.

215
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,936
Scared?
Yeah.

216
00:07:49,936 --> 00:07:52,806
Smart. Okay, shh...

217
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:55,108
Sorry I wasn't there
when she was born.

218
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:56,142
Oh, you weren't?

219
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,110
No, they forgot me
at school.

220
00:07:58,110 --> 00:07:59,479
I had to walk home.

221
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,980
Ooh...

222
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,349
Oops.

223
00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:04,117
Then my dad got mad at me,
like I was the one

224
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:05,185
who did something wrong.
Uh-huh.

225
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:06,319
How is it that color?

226
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:07,454
She only eats milk.

227
00:08:07,454 --> 00:08:08,655
And Mom hasn't been home,

228
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:09,889
and I know something's going on,

229
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:11,157
but no one
will tell me anything.

230
00:08:11,157 --> 00:08:12,792
Uh, can you hand me the powder?

231
00:08:12,792 --> 00:08:14,661
Do you know
what's going on with them?

232
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:16,963
Huh?
With my mom and dad.

233
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,398
(sighs)

234
00:08:18,398 --> 00:08:20,660
Missy, it feels
like someone

235
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:21,234
just drove a truck
through my body,

236
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:22,569
I haven't slept
in days.

237
00:08:22,569 --> 00:08:23,970
I cannot help you
right now.

238
00:08:23,970 --> 00:08:26,390
(scoffs) Sorry.

239
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:27,974
(Constance crying)

240
00:08:27,974 --> 00:08:30,643
Son of a *****.

241
00:08:30,643 --> 00:08:32,379
Pigs in a blanket?
Yeah.

242
00:08:32,379 --> 00:08:33,847
They're burnt.

243
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:35,215
Yeah.

244
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:36,516
Mom doesn't cook
them that long.

245
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:37,984
Thank you.

246
00:08:37,984 --> 00:08:40,200
Would you teach me
how to throw a football?

247
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,189
What? What? Why?

248
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:46,359
I'm trying to get more
comfortable with failure.

249
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,862
What makes you think
you're gonna fail?

250
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,397
The word "ball."

251
00:08:50,397 --> 00:08:52,232
Well, I got to warn you,

252
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:53,833
learning to throw
isn't something you get right

253
00:08:53,833 --> 00:08:56,569
on the first try.
It... it takes practice.

254
00:08:56,569 --> 00:08:59,506
And does this practice involve
setbacks and frustration?

255
00:08:59,506 --> 00:09:01,741
Yeah.
Perfect.

256
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:04,344
Now, you'll notice that
the shape of this thing

257
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:05,912
is more like
a missile, right,

258
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:07,380
than it is your
typical bouncy ball.

259
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,949
The term you're looking for
is prolate spheroid.

260
00:09:09,949 --> 00:09:12,585
Wasn't looking for it,
but thank you.

261
00:09:12,585 --> 00:09:14,254
Now, what do you think

262
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:16,222
is the most efficient way
to get this thing to fly?

263
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,457
Gyroscopic torque.

264
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:19,859
Spiral.

265
00:09:19,859 --> 00:09:21,194
Bingo. (chuckles)
All right,

266
00:09:21,194 --> 00:09:23,596
now get your fingers
on the laces here.

267
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:26,266
Why is the surface
all bumpy?

268
00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:27,967
Used to be made
out of pig bladder.

269
00:09:29,135 --> 00:09:31,404
Well... not anymore. It's...

270
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:34,874
Helps with the grip. Okay?

271
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:37,377
Now, fingers back on it,
and get your thumb

272
00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:38,912
wrapped around...
There you go.

273
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:40,547
All right,
bring your other hand up.

274
00:09:40,547 --> 00:09:42,549
That helps keep her steady.

275
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:43,950
Bring the ball
back to your ear.

276
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:46,453
And when you're
ready to throw,

277
00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:48,488
bring your arm down
like a tomahawk. (exhales)

278
00:09:48,488 --> 00:09:50,957
Get that ball spinning.
(exhales) All right?

279
00:09:50,957 --> 00:09:52,425
(exhales)

280
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:56,329
And am I correct in assuming
that more revolutions

281
00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:59,632
will create a parabolic arc
that resists external forces?

282
00:09:59,632 --> 00:10:01,267
Sure.

283
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,690
All right,
whenever you're ready,

284
00:10:03,690 --> 00:10:04,404
let's see if you
can reach me.

285
00:10:04,404 --> 00:10:07,700
Let the setbacks
and frustration begin.

286
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:12,579
(chuckles) Good Lord.
That was incredible.

287
00:10:12,579 --> 00:10:15,810
Yeah, I saw it.

288
00:10:15,810 --> 00:10:17,170
Where you going?

289
00:10:17,170 --> 00:10:19,819
To hit the showers.
Apparently I'm a jock now.

290
00:10:23,923 --> 00:10:26,192
I got the baby to
settle down. Easy peasy.

291
00:10:26,192 --> 00:10:28,428
Take it down a notch, Nana.

292
00:10:28,428 --> 00:10:30,830
I will try,
but I don't know if I can.

293
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:32,632
Georgie on the couch?

294
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:33,933
Mm-hmm.

295
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:35,535
(sighs)

296
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:38,471
And what exactly is it
that's wrong with your bed?

297
00:10:38,471 --> 00:10:40,106
My husband's in it.

298
00:10:40,106 --> 00:10:42,509
So, you're just gonna
keep sleeping here

299
00:10:42,509 --> 00:10:43,843
instead of dealing
with it?

300
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:45,845
I'm helping
with the baby.

301
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:48,882
She'll still be crying
tomorrow. Go home.

302
00:10:48,882 --> 00:10:50,450
I will.

303
00:10:50,450 --> 00:10:52,986
I just need
my space right now.

304
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:54,854
I know the feeling.

305
00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:58,458
You're cranky.

306
00:10:58,458 --> 00:11:00,627
You want me
to rock you to sleep?

307
00:11:00,627 --> 00:11:01,661
I'm pretty good
at it.

308
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,863
Don't touch me.

309
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:10,737
(whispering):
Did you ever find out

310
00:11:10,737 --> 00:11:12,305
where your mom was
the other day?

311
00:11:12,305 --> 00:11:14,740
(whispering):
She was at the hospital

312
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:15,675
for your brother's baby.

313
00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:17,177
What?

314
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:19,212
Did you not know
he had one?

315
00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:21,147
It's a girl.
DARLENE: Shh.

316
00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:23,216
No talking during the test.

317
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:25,719
(sighs)

318
00:11:26,753 --> 00:11:29,890
Your mom was there?
Yeah.

319
00:11:29,890 --> 00:11:32,726
So I was the only person in the
whole world who wasn't there.

320
00:11:32,726 --> 00:11:34,494
Keep your eyes
on your own papers.

321
00:11:34,494 --> 00:11:35,829
I'm not cheating.

322
00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:37,564
Well, that's not
what it looks like.

323
00:11:37,564 --> 00:11:40,400
I guess you would know
what cheating looks like.

324
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,202
Ask your husband.

325
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:45,605
What has gotten
into you?

326
00:11:45,605 --> 00:11:47,507
Well?
Answer your mother.

327
00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:49,709
So the only time you two talk
to each other is to yell at me?

328
00:11:49,709 --> 00:11:51,845
That is not true.
Oh, really?

329
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:53,680
Where have you been sleeping
the last couple nights?

330
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,116
Whoa, you do not talk
to us that way.

331
00:11:56,116 --> 00:11:59,285
And you do not talk
to your teacher that way either.

332
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:01,287
Sheldon says obnoxious
things all the time,

333
00:12:01,287 --> 00:12:02,856
but it's fine
'cause he's special.

334
00:12:02,856 --> 00:12:04,724
This is not
about Sheldon.

335
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:06,292
For once.
(laughs): Oh.

336
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:09,129
We forgot to pick you up
one time. Cut the drama.

337
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:12,532
One time? You've been
forgetting me my entire life.

338
00:12:12,532 --> 00:12:14,868
Everything is Sheldon,
and now Georgie has a baby,

339
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:16,603
and you two are fighting.
(scoffs)

340
00:12:16,603 --> 00:12:17,871
Might as well
be invisible.

341
00:12:17,871 --> 00:12:20,407
Not today you're not.

I was hoping I could try

Why?
I'm trying new things

00:12:40,727 --> 00:12:43,763

I'm not happy about it either.

360
00:13:04,351 --> 00:13:05,819
(sighs)

361
00:13:05,819 --> 00:13:07,420
(Constance resumes crying)

362
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:09,589
No, no, no, no, no, no.

363
00:13:09,589 --> 00:13:12,158
♪ Soft kitty, kitty, kitty. ♪

364
00:13:12,158 --> 00:13:13,760
Sheldon, come back.

365
00:13:18,398 --> 00:13:19,733
Dr. Linkletter,
I need your help.

366
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:21,401
Of course.

367
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:23,536
Let me just drop everything
so I can be of assistance.

368
00:13:23,536 --> 00:13:24,571
Thank you.

369
00:13:25,705 --> 00:13:27,507
(sighs)

370
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:29,175
I'm trying
to embrace failure,

371
00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:31,110
and I realized that
social subtleties

372
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:33,130
like sarcasm
can sometimes evade me.

373
00:13:33,130 --> 00:13:34,140
You don't say.

374
00:13:34,140 --> 00:13:35,181
No, it's true.

375
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:36,950
And I was hoping
you could pepper

376
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:39,753
our conversation with sarcasm,
so I can try to identify it.

377
00:13:39,753 --> 00:13:41,388
Oh, boy, when do we start?

378
00:13:41,388 --> 00:13:42,889
Now would be great.

379
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:44,891
Sheldon, that was sarcasm.

380
00:13:44,891 --> 00:13:46,693
Oh, let me try again.

381
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:48,194
Is this about your database?

382
00:13:48,194 --> 00:13:49,696
Yes.

383
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:51,965
You know, I was also working
on a database

384
00:13:51,965 --> 00:13:54,401
that I thought would be
more successful than yours.

385
00:13:54,401 --> 00:13:55,769
(chuckles) Sarcasm?

386
00:13:55,769 --> 00:13:56,903
No.

387
00:13:56,903 --> 00:13:58,104
Oh, darn it.

388
00:13:58,104 --> 00:13:59,372
Wait, was the "no" sarcasm?

389
00:13:59,372 --> 00:14:00,907
No.
Are you sure?

390
00:14:00,907 --> 00:14:02,542
Yes.
Ugh,

391
00:14:02,542 --> 00:14:04,611
I'll never be comfortable
with failure.

392
00:14:04,611 --> 00:14:07,147
My point is, I was experiencing
something similar,

393
00:14:07,147 --> 00:14:09,249
and there's no shortcut
through grief.

394
00:14:09,249 --> 00:14:10,750
Those are wise words.

395
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:12,520
Thank you.

396
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,720
It was smart I came to you.

397
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,256
You're clearly an expert
on humiliation and defeat.

398
00:14:16,256 --> 00:14:17,757
Sarcasm?

399
00:14:17,757 --> 00:14:19,292
No.
Leave.

400
00:14:19,292 --> 00:14:21,227
Sarcasm?
No.

401
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:23,329
Bye.

402
00:14:24,731 --> 00:14:26,299
Go to your room. Fine.

403
00:14:26,299 --> 00:14:28,635
And you're gonna apologize
to Mrs. Wilkins.

404
00:14:28,635 --> 00:14:30,737
MISSY:
That's not her name anymore.

405
00:14:30,737 --> 00:14:31,771
(sighs)

406
00:14:32,806 --> 00:14:34,474
Can you believe her?

407
00:14:34,474 --> 00:14:36,900
Well, maybe this wouldn't have
happened if you were around.

408
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:39,120
Are you really trying
to blame this on me?

409
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,247
I'm not the one
sleeping across the street.

410
00:14:41,247 --> 00:14:42,949
I'm here with our kids.

411
00:14:42,949 --> 00:14:44,170
(bottle cap clatters)

412
00:14:46,152 --> 00:14:49,155
So you want to get into this?
Let's get into this.

413
00:14:49,155 --> 00:14:51,324
What is going on
with you and Brenda?

414
00:14:51,324 --> 00:14:53,960
Nothing.
It doesn't seem like it.

415
00:14:55,128 --> 00:14:57,970
What, you're honestly saying
that you don't light up

416
00:14:57,970 --> 00:14:59,165
every time Pastor Rob's around?

417
00:15:02,969 --> 00:15:04,838
Maybe I do.

418
00:15:04,838 --> 00:15:07,774
Nothing ever happened.

419
00:15:07,774 --> 00:15:09,420
I wouldn't do that.

420
00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:10,677
(scoffs) What,
you saying I would?

421
00:15:10,677 --> 00:15:13,460
You tell me.
I wouldn't.

422
00:15:13,460 --> 00:15:15,480
But you like being around her.

423
00:15:20,787 --> 00:15:22,489
(sighs)

424
00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:29,362
(sighs)

425
00:15:30,864 --> 00:15:32,499
(sighs)

426
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:36,536
What happens now?

427
00:15:38,638 --> 00:15:40,507
I don't know.

428
00:15:40,507 --> 00:15:42,409
(sighs)

429
00:15:45,311 --> 00:15:46,680
(door opens)

430
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:50,316
Hey.

431
00:15:50,316 --> 00:15:52,180
Hi.

432
00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:54,354
What are you doing here?
Where's the baby?

433
00:15:54,354 --> 00:15:56,823
She's fine. She's with Connie.

434
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:59,392
I just needed a couple minutes.

435
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:01,428
Which was...

436
00:16:01,428 --> 00:16:03,496
a couple hours ago.

437
00:16:03,496 --> 00:16:06,320
I'll go check on her,
unless you want to.

438
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,234
Actually... (scoffs)

439
00:16:08,234 --> 00:16:09,936
I don't know what I want.

440
00:16:09,936 --> 00:16:11,404
What does that mean?

441
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:13,773
My daughter hates me.

442
00:16:13,773 --> 00:16:16,343
What difference does it make
if I'm there or not?

443
00:16:16,343 --> 00:16:18,511
You know that ain't true.
Really?

444
00:16:18,511 --> 00:16:20,580
Because all she does is cry,

445
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:22,582
and I'm tired all the time,

446
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:25,719
and even your brother is better
at soothing her than I am.

447
00:16:26,853 --> 00:16:29,756
You're just a little
overwhelmed. It's normal.

448
00:16:29,756 --> 00:16:31,858
Why aren't you?

449
00:16:31,858 --> 00:16:33,727
Well, we can't both be
freaked out at the same time.

450
00:16:33,727 --> 00:16:35,395
We got to
take turns.

451
00:16:35,395 --> 00:16:36,930
When's your turn?

452
00:16:36,930 --> 00:16:38,698
Already had it.

453
00:16:38,698 --> 00:16:40,567
I was so scared
when I got to

454
00:16:40,567 --> 00:16:42,535
the hospital, I...

455
00:16:42,535 --> 00:16:45,205
I got back in my car
and drove away.

456
00:16:45,205 --> 00:16:47,374
While I was in labor?!

457
00:16:47,374 --> 00:16:49,576
Don't hit me.
We're sharing freak-outs.

458
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,746
And I still came back.
(sighs)

459
00:16:53,747 --> 00:16:55,448
What kind of parents
are we?

460
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:57,830
The new kind,

461
00:16:57,830 --> 00:16:59,753
the well-meaning,
dumb kind.

462
00:16:59,753 --> 00:17:01,454
We're gonna get better, right?

463
00:17:01,454 --> 00:17:03,990
We ain't got no choice.
(chuckles)

464
00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:08,728
I'll let you sleep.
I'm gonna go check on CeeCee.

465
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:11,164
Thank you.

466
00:17:15,568 --> 00:17:17,170
What are you smiling at?

467
00:17:17,170 --> 00:17:18,772
Just thinking.

468
00:17:18,772 --> 00:17:21,740
We might've conceived CeeCee
in this very garage.

469
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:22,642
Okay, you're gross. Leave now.

470
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:24,911
Bye.
(sighs)

471
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:32,118
(sighs)

472
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:33,119
What are you doing?

473
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,455
Oh, um...

474
00:17:35,455 --> 00:17:38,992
I'm just gonna be staying
at Meemaw's a little bit longer.

475
00:17:40,193 --> 00:17:41,261
Okay.

476
00:17:41,261 --> 00:17:43,296
You all right?

477
00:17:43,296 --> 00:17:45,165
No.

478
00:17:45,165 --> 00:17:47,600
What's going on?

479
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,704
My database...

480
00:17:50,704 --> 00:17:53,707
I've-I've never failed
like this before,

481
00:17:53,707 --> 00:17:55,542
and it frightens me.

482
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:59,346
Oh... sweetie,

483
00:17:59,346 --> 00:18:01,781
I'm sorry. Sometimes,

484
00:18:01,781 --> 00:18:04,117
no matter how much
we want things to work out,

485
00:18:04,117 --> 00:18:06,219
they just don't.

486
00:18:31,378 --> 00:18:34,247
ADULT SHELDON:
Dealing with failure
is a tricky business.

487
00:18:34,247 --> 00:18:37,350
You can face it head on
and try to overcome it.

488
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:42,255
Good job, Mama.

489
00:18:43,723 --> 00:18:45,191
ADULT SHELDON:
You can avoid it.

490
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:47,527
Thanks for
letting me stay.

491
00:18:47,527 --> 00:18:50,363
For as long
as you need.

492
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:52,499
ADULT SHELDON:
You can try to drown it out.

493
00:18:52,499 --> 00:18:54,567
(crowd cheers,
whistle blows on TV)

494
00:18:55,769 --> 00:18:58,204
Or you can try to talk
to someone about it.

495
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:12,585
And some people choose to run.
